2 Bridgestone DriveGuard RFT Run Flat 215/50R17 95V All Season Tires 60000 Mile BR011663 / 215/50/17 / 2155017

This tire is a welcome addition to my car and the RFT world. My previous tires were the OEM Continentals and since getting the car, I complained to the dealer of what I perceived as wind noise not to mention road noise. Surprisingly enough, with these tires, what I thought was wind noise is gone and road noise is all but gone (depending on road surface). These tires are a huge leap forward in RFT technology. They handle as good, if not better than the previous tires and they are so much more comfortable and most of all, quiet. I am hugely pleased and impressed in how they have transformed my car.

I have had these tires on my teenage daughters car for almost a year. As a tire dealer , I saw the technology and commonsense that was in them. I can't speak to the performance and handling of the Driveguards, because I don't really every remember riding in her car. She has had three situations, two after dark that I would have had to go out to get her off of the side of the road, but each and every time she was able to make it safely to her destination or to my shop. 1. Complete hole puncture in the sidewall. (Bridgestone replaced tire for free because it was inside 1 year and 12000 miles) 2. A nail in tire that had 18 psi when she got to me 30 miles later after her TPSM light came on (We were able to safely and properly repair) 3. Impact break on the bead from a pothole. (Bridgestone replaced tire for free because it was inside 1 yr and 12000 miles) Only complaint is the ease in which the bead suffers damage on a severe impact from a pothole, but my daughter was still able to successfully navigate to a place of safety and I wasn't out on the highway late at night putting a spare on or calling a tow truck as some newer vehicles don't even come with a spare tire. There should be a commercial about my daughters trials with tire trouble just in the past year, but it has had a happy ending each time because of the Driveguard tires. I can not recommend them enough for teenage daughters ,our wives, mothers and sisters, I even put a set on my Volvo. Who wants to change a flat tire?
